Avengers, assemble – for a new TV gig! Disney XD just announced plans to add two superhero-themed series to the network's popular Marvel Universe programming block, starting this summer.

First up is Marvel's Avengers Assemble, a new animated show that follows six of Marvel's most famous superheroes. Former Heroes star Adrian Pasdar is voicing Iron Man, with Fred Tatasciore as the Hulk, Craig Smith as Captain America, Travis Willingham as Thor, Troy Baker as Hawkeye, Laura Bailey as Black Widow, and Bumper Robinson as Falcon.

If you're frothing for more from Marvel, a one-hour preview of Marvel's Avengers Assemble will air on Sunday, May 26, 2013, with the show making its official Disney XD debut on Sunday, July 7.

Tatasciore will pull double-duty, also voicing the main character for Hulk and the Agents S.M.A.S.H. This has some of Marvel's mightiest heroes living under one roof, raising a T-Rex, and saving mankind as well. Besides Tatasciore, expect to see (and hear) Clancy Brown as Red Hulk, Eliza Dushku as She-Hulk, Ben Diskin as Skaar, and Seth Green as A-Bomb. Hulk and the Agents S.M.A.S.H. will debut on Sunday, August 11.

Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man first made its mark on the block back in January 2013. The network says that to date, it's Disney XD's number one animated series with kids.
